Question Faster I go the cooler it gets!

Not really! I took the 37 on a 600 mile round trip this weekend. High 90's during the drive, running the A/C the whole time, cruising 70 to 75 the whole way. Temp stayed around 210, got a little hotter going through towns along the way, 220 tops. It would cool back down to 200-210 at speed. On the way back I took the toll road, speed limit 80 mph. I ran it up to 2500 rpm which was about 88 mph. After a few miles I checked the temp gauge and it was dead on 190! It didn't budge until after 30 miles I got back on the interstate and slowed down to 70-75, It then went back to 200-210! Any thoughts? I'm thinking maybe a smaller diameter wp pulley to increase flow at lower rpm's.
